The St. Claire DrakeStudent Travel Grant

The Society for the Anthropology of North America announces the St. Claire Drake Student Travel Grants Award for the annual AAA Meetings.

The student travel grant will be awarded on a competitive basis and reviewed by a committee comprised of members from the SANA board.

• This travel grant is intended for currently enrolled graduate students without a PhD. Only students who are presenting at the conference will be considered for the award.
• Papers should relate to the study of North America and—in keeping with the work of the award’s namesake, St. Claire Drake—preferably address social justice issues such as those pertaining to “race,” ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, etc. Priority will be given to those that address Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
• Preference will go to those students who have previously applied for the SANA travel grant and have not yet received one.
• The total dollar amount allocated to travel grants is limited; therefore, the number and dollar amount of grants awarded depends on the number of applicants and their travel needs.
• Travel grants will not be awarded to any individual two years in a row.
• Drake fellows may be asked to assist SANA by helping pass out informational flyers at sessions or contributing to its newsletter.
• SANA is an intentionally inclusive community of anthropologists and encourages every student to apply for the St. Claire Drake award regardless of society’s labels or anthropology’s disciplinary boundaries. Although it is not necessary for applicants to be members of SANA, recipients of the award are expected to join SANA.
